Down by the River

Six people drowned on this spot 63 years ago yesterday. A small headstone at Carrickmakeegan Bridge, over the Ballinamore - Ballyconnell Canal in Cavan remembers the names of Maureen Moran, Annie Walsh, Maureen Rowley, Carmel Prior, Sean Dolphin and Seamus Wisley.

I asked the fisherman what he was trying to catch. He didn't tell me. They never do.
